The classic view of The Needles

I dont think its in the crop i think its the time of day the photo was taken.

A very nicely composed shot, Bill!

Best regards,

with the others; the crop is fine, the light was tough.

I'm in general agreement with Richard and Joseph.  I'm not crazy about the lower right corner - there's just not enough of that rock, and I'd either like to add more or remove it.  However, there is no good place for you to crop.  If you have the opportunity to return, you might try some different focal lengths and vantage points.  The white is very white; a lower sun angle might make the white less harsh and add some shadows to the faces of the rocks.

Bill:  Most comments above I agree with.  One thing.  I see what looks like a lighthouse.  It's being blocked.  With another shot, I would try an angle that shows it better.  Also, you seem to have taken this at low tide.  That will be a consideration when  you go out again for a shot whether to include the dark shades of low tide or wait for high tide when everything is white. Where was this taken?  Alan

I hate to go with the crowd but I agree with the others . I played a bit with the light and contrast to tone down the brightness ,and to help bring out the texture of the rocks  ,added a small crop ,and cloned out the balance of the lower right rock. I hope you like.   Pat

I think the shot improves a little, but th basic composition doesn't work.  Also, I don't go along with cropping out huge portions of the rock.  I don't want to be "old fashioned" but I think physical structures should remain.  Especially since this is basically a record shot not an "fine art" picture where anything goes.  The photographer should work within the limits of the natural elements by moving and adjusting his position but not to clone things in or out.  How would a shot of Yosemite look with El Capitan and the Two Brothers instead of El Capitan and the Three Brothers or a cityscape of Paris without the Eiffel Tower?
